In a stunning announcement that has sent waves through both the music and film worlds, Netflix has officially confirmed production of a new 16-part limited series chronicling the extraordinary life and legacy of Ozzy Osbourne — the man who turned chaos into art, pain into purpose, and rebellion into faith.
Titled simply OZZY, the series promises to be one of the most ambitious biographical productions ever undertaken by the streaming giant. Combining cinematic reenactments, archival footage, and newly unearthed interviews, it will trace Ozzy’s life from his gritty childhood in Birmingham to the heights of fame as the frontman of Black Sabbath, and later, as a solo artist who redefined heavy metal for generations.
💬 “This isn’t just a story about music,” says Sharon Osbourne, who will serve as the series’ executive producer and director. “It’s about survival, redemption, and the love that outlasts the noise.”
The news has already captured global attention — and not just because of Ozzy’s mythical status. The announcement comes on the heels of his passing earlier this year, transforming what might have been a standard rock biopic into a deeply personal, emotional tribute. Fans are calling it a “final gift,” a cinematic resurrection of the man whose voice and chaos defined an era.
According to Netflix insiders, each of the sixteen episodes will represent a distinct chapter in Ozzy’s life — from his humble beginnings in postwar Birmingham to his groundbreaking work with Black Sabbath, and later, his reinvention as a solo performer and television personality.
Episode titles, though not yet officially revealed, are said to follow a chronological journey: “Iron Youth,” “The Birth of Sabbath,” “The Bite,” “The Fall,” “The Resurrection,” “The Family,” and finally, “No Escape From Now” — a phrase that Sharon reportedly insisted on as a nod to his final years of reflection and peace.
The production will blend dramatized storytelling with rare archival material, including home footage, unreleased recordings, and never-before-seen interviews with Ozzy, Sharon, and their children. The creative team has emphasized that authenticity will be paramount — “warts and all,” as Ozzy himself once said.
💬 “We’re not interested in rewriting history,” Sharon explained. “We’re here to tell the truth — the laughter, the madness, the tears, and the faith that carried us through.”
The series will also feature appearances and commentary from legendary musicians including Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Zakk Wylde, and Slash, each sharing intimate reflections on the man who shaped modern rock’s sound and soul.
From the smoky pubs of Birmingham to the global arenas that shook under the sound of Paranoid and Crazy Train, OZZYwill capture both the ferocity and fragility of the man behind the myth. It will explore not only his battles with addiction and fame but also his unbreakable bond with Sharon — the woman who stood beside him through every triumph and collapse.
As filming begins this winter in the UK and Los Angeles, anticipation is already reaching fever pitch. Fans are calling it “the definitive Ozzy story,” while critics predict it will redefine how biographical storytelling approaches the icons of music history.
Sixteen chapters. One soul. A journey from madness to meaning.
OZZY is more than a television series — it’s a requiem, a resurrection, and a reminder that legends never truly die.
